He is joined by a
panel comprising Anti-business secretary, tortoise lookalike Vince Cable,

shadow attorney general
Emily Thornberry,{ultimate Islington Champagne socialist. Although she is very sensible for a former TGWU foreperson. She sends her two children to a highly rated selective school outside the borough. Told you she was sensible.} Claire Perry,{Tory class of 2010. Don't know much about her except she wants to end porn on the internet. } UKIP deputy leader Paul 'Nuts' Nuttall {rare outing for UKIP. } and
Mehdi 'shouty' Hasan, {Itinerant political director of the Huffington Post website}

Enter your guess for what you believe the regional audience will ask of the panel. Maximum of 5 guesses
allowed. Various special rules and vague promises apply that are hidden even more cunningly than in a government manifesto

BQ: Guesses1. Jimmy Savile. Its the new Leveson. The great white lawyer sharks are circling the BBC and NHS.2. 1% growth. Can we all go back to spending more than we earn now?3. Council to pay for inequality. A very, very stupid ruling.See 1 above re sharks.4. Must be an EU question. Votes for prisoners I'd say.5.Child benefit caps. "its eugenics" said a mum of 10 on the radio earlier. Hyperbole alert.

1. Capping child benefit: is this war on children, or protection from "welfare queens"?2. Actual GDP growth: now we have some money, what should we spend it on?3. European countries are adopting the FTT; why don't we?4. School uniforms cost too much, another family tax.5. Would you use a fake birthdate on a social networking site?

1. Savile again.2. GDP.1% isn't anything. Its going to need 3-4% for years.3. Why can't we have a banker tax like europe?4. Votes for lags. Dave is prepared to stand up to the ECHR but not the EU.5. Miners and Hillsborough and the copper who quit.

1. At number five, ‘Slamming Shut the Transit Van Doors’ by Ford. This is the business, folks. No time for depression. They are on the off.

2. At number four, more ‘Navel Gazing at the BBC’ by the Paedos. On their way down.

3. Yes, here they are, in at number three. Have We Been Badgering on Enough?’ by the Incompetents who are currently on tour with Can They Ever Make up Its Mind?

4. At number two, it’s that old mistress the EU ‘Money for Nothing and Chips for Free’.

5. And Number One, they have made it! An absolutely sensational rise. We had never heard of them until this week, but live in the studio with ‘Will you Support Another Football Team to Save Money’ IT IS …..SDHAFT (Slough Does Have A Football Team)!

well here in Dublin Savile is still top billing so it has to get another airing I s'pose. It's

1) Savile2) badgers (clearly should have been last week but we keep trying)3) 1%, segue to ...4) Ford pulling out of Dagenham (Slough, Dagenham, both on the Thames)5) in & out of Europe / ECHR: scotland, UK as a whole, semi-detached status, will they kick us out, will they let the scotties back in etc

The girls are getting very feisty on QT. I recognise Claire Perry now.She is good. Managed to get applause from Slough.

Right then, first question: With today’s announcement of the GDP figures, are these the first sign of “green shoots”?Left say no. Right say cautiously yes. So probably going to get an Xmas boost mild 1% again and then a poor Jan/Feb if the weather is bad.

Q2: Is the proposal to limit child benefit to the first two children fair and reasonable?

Eugenics! China! The end of civilisation! Nasty party only want kids for the rich!Thornberry uses every falsehood and exaggeration she can flap at.

UKIp are doing very well on this question. Dave , take note. get a working class scouser on the team.

Q3:Has the BBC been fatally damaged in the public’s mind as a result of the Savile scandal?No. Just temporarily. All agree its not the Beebs fault. Unusual. But there we are

Q4: prisoners right to votes. {I am on a roll tonight}

Q5: In recent polls, Lib Dems came fourth behind UKIP. Should they leave the coalition before they lose any support they still have? {that's stopped my 5 for 5. And there is no way this was the most popular question from the audience. no way at all.
